"Tilt on the axis" is the right word. :bowl:

"Of what?" is the right question!

We have to take a census on the number of Doctorates in the English Literature in this
Forum. I do not find every one writes or posts very grammatically and people generally
use colloquial terms. I meant that there is a shift in the move into a sloping position.
If really required to know the actual terminology, I can still narrate the actual status of
the existing picture on this issue. But then the Scientists Community alone may have the
real picture, if so desired.

Is the opposite of 'exactly correct', 'exactly wrong'? :bowl:

Is the opposite of 'exactly correct', 'exactly wrong'? :bowl:

technically speaking it could be 'not exactly wrong', but I may not be exactly correct.

What's prompting this question? seems random.

It should be 'exactly correct!' :high5:

But I FEEL that 'hideously wrong' will convey the meaning be better!

Really, if the lower orders don't set us a good example, what on earth is the use of them?
They seem as a class to have absolutely no sense of moral responsibility. :doh:

The truth is rarely pure and never simple. :nono:
Modern life would be very tedious if it were either and modern Literature a complete impossibility. :llama:

I think there are multiple answers possible (I know of at least two). Also pl remember that no condition is given that two unknowns cannot have same value, for. eg. a =1; b = 1 may be possible.

Let me give a simple answer (without solving the problem) to keep the pot boiling:

a = 3.32; b = 1.25; c = 2.00; d = 0.90

I am aware I am so late to the party but I will reply anyways!

Because there is no restriction placed on the values the variables can take (other than zero), the simplest solution that I can think of is
a = b = c = d = 4^(1/3).

RECOVER FROM WHAT Mr. O3 :wacko: ???

I am talking about the axis of human brain.

The left and the right hemispheres should be identical

but they are not - since there seems to be a tilt.

my apology. I admit, I have been dumb for a while and havent recovered yet

[h=1]Brain Asymmetry![/h]
At the first glance, the human brain appears to be perfectly symmetrical, with its two hemispheres forming mirror image of each other. Closer scrutiny reveals that the brain is lop sided, both in its structure and its function. The left hemisphere is slightly larger than the right and is connected differently.

The Split brain pattern allows several different operations to take place at the same time. Our ability to do multiple tasks is due to the hemispherical design of the brain. The Dual Core Processor of the modern computers is similar to the two hemispheres of the brain.

Asymmetry is absolutely essential in order to do even simple tasks we take for granted. When we talk, the left hemisphere processes the verbal language and the right hemisphere interprets the tone.

When we imagine a scene, the left hemisphere provides all the details and the right hemisphere handles their shapes, sizes and locations and fit them in correctly. Unless both the hemisphere work together, we can never be as efficient as we are now.

Working together or Synchronization of the hemispheres does not mean that both the halves process the information in the same way. In a normal brain, the two halves can communicate freely and fluently and work closely, with out dominating each other.

Right handed people have dominant left hemisphere and vice versa. Both the hemispheres have to work in unison for a smooth and successful performance. One half overly dominating the other is a bad thing.

In some rare cases, the connection between two halves of the brain is severed by Lobotomy. The behavior of these ‘split-brain-persons’ becomes very weird.

Damage to the right side of the brain makes a person indifferent and uncaring. The damage to the left side of the brain leaves a person depressed and speechless.

Human brain is indeed an incredibly complex organ with billions of cells and the working of these cells is yet to be fully understood.

I feel you have made your point.
Time to move on, leaving this aside?

No restriction DOES NOT mean that they should all be equal?
The symbol ^ is new to me the way it has been used by you.
Usually it is put on the head of an angle like A or B or C.
Can you please work out you solution for the benefit of interested persons?

#1637 - Brain asymmetry:

What is the capacity of LHS and RHS of brain in KB/MB/GB etc.?
What is the RAM size of LHS and RHS of brain?

 

[கால பைரவன்]

I meant the solution provided can also be considered valid.

The symbol ^ is new to me the way it has been used by you.

It means "raised to the power of". 4^(1/3) means 4 raised to the power of (1/3). 4^(1/3) = 1.5874

Can you please work out you solution for the benefit of interested persons?

If a = b = c = d, then the original equation reduces to 4a = a^4, which results in a = 4^(1/3) = 1.5874!

I took the simple way out unlike the creative solution posted by you or the curious solution posted by member Zebra.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

How I wish someone could answer your interesting questions.

Even the size of men's hats varies from 22 to 26 inches.

The weight of the brain varies from male to female and from person to person in the same gender.

We all know that the capacity of the brains also varies from person to person.

With everything BEING a variable quantity, how can we fix the RAM or the size in KB/MB/GB???

And the pot you have kept boiling is about to get completely dried to continuous evaporation.

You had better do something about it like solving it?

But still I love the creative solution and the curious solution since

they DID NOT equate a = b = c = d and make all their values a weird

number 1.5874!

Ok. Solutions by tomorrow, Feb 24, 2012 - before 20:00 hrs.... since a new entrant is in the field too now!!

Dear KB,
thanks for your clue and the little more details.
based on your solution, I came up with something pretty close - 1.92,1.32,1.54 and 1.63, but not accurate though.I havent figured out the formula yet - waiting !!!
could you give me more steps to this:?
4a = a^4, which results in a = 4^(1/3) = 1.5874!

Why I am dilly-dallying is, there is a very simple and ready made answer:

a = 1, b = 1, c = 2, d = 4 (remember there is no condition that two or more unknowns can not have same values)

a + b + c + d = 8

a x b x c x d = 8
